A SLIGHT REACTION.
Stock Quotations Rccedo for Fractional
Amounts,

New York, May 19.-The sentiment on
the street TO day was decidedly adverse to
any further advance in the stock market,
and while there was no news OF a character
to affect the market unfavorably, free reall-
cations and sales for the short account,
aided by vigorous hammering by the bears
wherever a soft spot was discovered,
brought about moderate reaction through
out the entire list. London was moder-
ate buyer in the early dealings, but the
operations by that interest were Of no effect
upon the market. The trading was ex
tremely active for the first thirty minutes,
and nearly 100000 shares changed hands In
that time, but later the transactions became
quieter and general heavy tone was i'm
parted to the dealings.
The opening was moderately firm, most
stocks showing slight advances over last
evenings closing prices. A drive was made
at the list Immediately aud quotations were
depressed fractions, ranging up TO I per
cent. In the first half hour, the decline being
accompanied by extreme activity. A rally
occurred after that time, In which Western
Union was prominent, but considerable
irregularity was developed and transactions
became smaller In volume. The tone OF the
market, however, was generally heavy
until after 12 o'clock, when a reaction oc
Cured, which, however, was measured by
small fractions. In the last hour the de-
cline was renewed with force, and was only
checked at the close, which was fairly
active, but heavy, at the figures which were
at or near the lowest Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from to G., last loan at Al, and closing at
offered. Sterling exchange is dull and
unsettled. Actual business at 1864 to 4S52
for 60 day bills and 1892 to 4S7 for demand.
Posted rates 1861 to ass. Government bonds
have been dull and steady. State bonds
have been dull and steady. -
